In presenting th< ma7 not
seem out of place.
The Christian L 3 by any
modern collection of ( 'h ln tne
present work it has be imber of
Hymns containing doctrinal sentiments in direct antagonism to the oenptures. inese Hymns nave uc.ru luuiuughly re-
vised and corrected, and, it is believed, will now be found entirely unobjectionable.
The larger portion of the music employed in the construction of the Ltre has been reproduced in this work. ho-e
rich old melodies of our forefathers which have thrilled the hearts of thousands with divine rapture can never be ailed
by the usually cold, unmeaning though more artistic compositions of modern times. It has been our chief ■ . pre-
serve these an'crcnt tunes in all their simplicity and beauty. Alarge number have been added to those already n itioned,
many of which have never been arranged for all parts heretofore.
With regard to the Hvmns, we trust we have furnished something for everybody and for all occasions. To Brn.
S. S. Brewer and S. G. Matiiewson, from whose selections most of the additional Hymns are taken, we arc largely in-
debted. Nearly three hundred of these Hymns have been furnished through the industry of these brethren, whose nanus
are a sufficient guarantee of their usefulness and worth. To all others who have aided us in this undertaking we returv
our s:nccre acknowledgments, and especially to Bro. A. T. Gorham, to whose able hands its compilation was entrusted.
May the Spirit of the Holy One go with this little work into the families and congregations of his waiting ones, kind-
ling in every heart feelings of devoutest praise and worship, to the honor and glory of our soon-coming King. Amen.

1 PRAISE, everlasting praise, be paid
To him who earth's foundation laid :
Praise to the God, whose strong decrees
Sway the creation as he please.
2 Firm aTe the words his prophets give.
Sweet words on which his children live j
Each of them is the voice of God,
Who spoke and spread the skies abroad.
3 Whence then should doubts and fears arise?
Why trickling sorrows drown our eyes ?
Slowly, alas ! our mind receives
The comforts that our Maker gives.
4 Oh, for a strong, a las tin* faith.
To credit what the Almighty saith ;
T1 embrace the message of his Son,
And call the joys of heav'n our own.
5 Then should the earth's old pillar shake,
And all the wheels of nature break ;
Our steady souls shall fear no more,
Than solid rocks when billows roar.

1 THE Lord, how wond'rous are his ways !
How firm his truth ! how large bis grace
He takes his mercy for his throne. —
And thence he makes his glories knowD.
2 Not hulf so high his pow'r hath spread
The starry heav'ua above our head,
As his rich love exceeds our praise,
Exceeds the highest hopes we raise.
3 Not half so far has nature plac'd
The rising morning from the west,
As his forgiviDg arace removes
The daily guilt of those he loves.
4 How slowly doth his wrath arise !
On swifter wings salvation flies :
And, if he lets his anger burn,
How soon his frowns to pity turn '

And bless His works, and bless His word ;

And every power find swetl employ

1 LORD, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand,
In gardens planted by thy baud ;
Let me within thy courts be seen,
Like a young cedar fresh and green.
2 There grow thy saints in faith and love,
Blest with thine influence from above;
Not Lebanon, with all its trees.
Yield such a comely sight as these.
3 The plants of grace shall ever live ;
(Nature decays, but grace must thrive ;)
Time that does all things else impair,
Still makes thein flourish strong and fair.
4 Laden with fruits of age, they show
The Lord is holy, jus' and true :
None that attend his gates shall find
A God unfaithful or unkiod.
Hymns to "Devotion."
1 HOW pleasant, how divinely fair,
0 Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are !
With long desire mv spirit faints
To meet th' assemblies of thy saints.
2 My flesh would rest in thine abode,
My panting heart cries out for God ;
My God ! my King ! why should I be
So far from all my joys and thee?
3 Blest are the souls Chat find a place
Within the temple of thy grace ;
There they behold thy gentler rays,
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.
4 Blest are the men whose h' arts are set
To find the way to Zion's gate ;
God is their strength, and, through the road
They lean upon their helper, God.
5 Cheerful they walk, with growing strength,
Till all shall me>-t in heaven at length ;
Till all before thy face appear.
And join in nobler worship there.
S
1 ANOTHER sis days' work is done ;
Another Sabbath is begun.
Return, my soul, eujov the rest ;
Improve the day thy God hath blest.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds ;
Provides an antepa^t of heaven.
And gives this day the food of seven.
3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise
As grateful incense to the skies ;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none but he that feels it knows.
4 This heavenly calm within the breast
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.
5 In holy duties let the day
In holy pleasures pass away.
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hopes of one that De'er shall end.
1 WITH one consent let all the earth
To God their cheerful voices raise ;
Glad homage pav, with hallowed mirth,
And sing before him songs ol praise ;
2 Assured that he is God alone,
From whom both we and all proceed ;
We, whom he chooses for his own.
The flork whi h he delights to feed.
3 0 ! euter, then, his temple gate ;
Thence to his courts devoutly press;
And still your grateful hymns repeat,
And still his name with praises bless.
4 For he 's the Lord, supremely good ;
His mercy is for ever sure ;
His truth, which always firmly stood,
To endless ages shall endure.
8 (Old Hundred.)
1 DISMISS us with Thy blessing, Lord ;
Help us to feed upon Thy word ;
All that has been amiss, forgive,
And let Thy truth within us live.
2 Though we are guilty, Thou art good ;
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood;
Give every burdened soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.

Thy goodness in full glory shines ;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.
2 For ever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep ;
Wi-e are the wonders of thy hands ;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
3 Thy providence is kind and large ;
Both man and beast thy bounty share ;
The whole creation is thy charge,

Fly through the world, 0 sun, and tell
Uow dark thy beams compared to his !

In sounds of dreadful praise declare ;
And the sweet whisper of his name
Fill every gentler breeze of air.

To join their praise with blazing fire ;
Let the firm earrh and rolling sea
In this eternal song conspire.

Who all creation dost sustain !
Thou wast, and art, and art to come,
And everlasting is thy reign.
2 Fixed and eternal as thy days,
Each glorious attribute divine,
Through ages infinite, shall still
With undiminished lustre shine.
^1 With all my pow'rs of heart & tongue, I'll praise my Maker in my aong, Angels shall hear the notes I raise, Approve the song.and join the praise.
2 To God I cried when troubles rose, He heard me and subdued my foes ; lie did my rising fears control, And strength diffus'd thro' all my soul.

3 Amidst a thousand snares I stand. Upheld and guarded by Thy hand ; Thy words my fainting word revive, And keep my dying faith alive.
4 Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrow or from sins ; The work that wisdom undertakes, Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes.

1 0 COME, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our Almighty King;
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's Rock we praise.
2 The depths of earth are in His hand,
Her secret wealth at His command ;
The strength of hills, that threat the skies,
Subjected to His empire lies.
3 The rolling ocean's vast abyss
By the same sovereign right is His ;
"T is moved by His almighty hand,
That formed and fixed the solid land.
4 0 let us to His courts repair,
And bow with adoration there ;
Down on our knees devoutly all
Before the Lord our Maker full.

1 HOW blest the sacred tie that binds
In union sweet, according miuds!
How swift the heavenly course they run,
Whose faith, whose hopes, whose joys are one.
2 To each the soul of each how dear !
What ardent love ! what tender fear !
How doth the fire of grace within
Refine from earth, and cleanse from sin !
3 Their hearts with mutual sorrows melt
For human woe and human guilt ;
Their fervent prayers together rise,
Like mingling flames in sacrifice.

I read my duty in thv word ;
But in thy life the law appears,
Drawn out in living characters.
2 What truth and love thy bosom fill !
What zeal to do thy Father's will!
Such zeal, and truth, and love divine,
I would tianscribe, and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict, and thy vict'ry too.
4 Be thou my pnttern ; make me bear
More of thy gracious image here ;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
Among the followers of the Lamb.

1 The Saviour lives, no more to die; He lives our head, enthroned on high ; He lives triumphant o'er the grave ; He lives eternal - ly to gave.
2 He lives to still his people's fears ; He lives to wipe away their tears ; He lives their mansions to prepare ; He lives to bring them safely there.
8 Then let our souls in him rejoice. And sing his praise with cheerful voice : Our doubts and fears forever gone. For Christ is on the Father's throne.
4 The chief of sinners he receives ; His saints he loves, and never leaves ; He '11 guard us safe from every ill, And all his promises ful - fil.

1 PKAISR ye the Lord ! 'tis good to raise
Our hearts and voices in his praise ;
His nature and his works unite
To make this duty our delight.
2 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames ;
He counts their numbers, calls their names ;
His wifdom's vast, and knows no bound;
His counsels are a deep profound.
3 Great is the Lord, and creat his might !
Kind are his ways, his judgments right ;
He loves the merk, rewards the just,
And lifts the humble from the dust,
4 His saints are precious iu his slight ;
He views his children with delight ;
He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
Approves and owns his image there.

1 OF him who did salvation bring,
I could for ever think and sing ;
Arise, ye needy, he'll relieve;
Arise, ye guilty, he'll forgive.
2 To shame our sins he blush'd in blood,
He closed his eyes to show us God ;
Let all the world fill down and know,
That nune but God such love can show.
3 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone,
I shed my tears and make my moan !
Where'er I am, where'er I move,
I meet the object of my love.
4 Insatiate to this spring I fly ;
I drink, and yet am ever dry ;
Ah I who against thy charms is proof?
Ah ! who that loves can love epough ?
SS (PORTUGAL.)
1 LET everlasting glories crown
Thy head, my Saviour and my Lord ;
For thou hast brought salvation down,
And stored its blessings in thy word.
2 In vain the trembling conscience seeks
Some solid ground to rest upon ;
With deep despair the spirit breaks,
Till we apply to Christ alone.
3 How well thy blessed truths agree!
How wise and holy thy commands I
Thy promises, how large and free !
Firm on this ground our comfort stands.
4 Should all the schemes that men device
Assault my faith with treach'rous art,
I'd coo at them vanity and lies,
And bind the gospel to my heart.

From contrite hearts and lips sincere,

As when, of old, Thy Spirit hung,

Hear thou in heaven, thy dwelling place,
And when thou hearest, Lord, foigive.

Think how th" all-seeing God thy ways
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

1 BLEST hour, when mortal man retires
To hold communion with his God j
To send to heaven his warm desires,
And listen to the sacred word.
2 Blest hour, when God himself draws nigh,
Well pleased hi* people's voice to hear,
To hush the penitential sigh,
And wipe away the mourner's tear.
3 Blest hour ; for, where the Lord resorts,
Foretastes of future bliss are given ,
And mortals find his earthly courts
The house of God, the <£ate of heaver.

Girded with majesty and might ;
The world, created by his hands,

Or had its first foundation laid,
Thy throne eternal ages srood,
Thyself the ever-living God.

And aim their raL'e against the skies.
In vain their rage they aim so high '

1 EMPTIED of earth I fain would be,
Of sin, of self, of all but thee ;
Reserved for Christ that bled and died,
Surrendered to the Crucified.
2 Sequestered from the noise and strife,
The lust, the pomp, the pride of life ;
Prepared for heaven, my noblest care,
And have my conversation there.
3 Nothing save Jesus would I know;
My friend and my companion thou ;
Constrain my soul thy sway to own ;
Self-will, self- righteousness dethrone.
4 Detach from sublunary joys
One that would only hear thy voice.
Thy beauty see, thy grace admire.
Nor glow but with celestial fire.

All nations shall his justice own :

Surveys the world his hands have made ;
Pierces the heart, and tries the reins,
And judgment from on high ordains.

The shelter of the Saviour's grace :
Then, when thine arm the just shall save,
My life shall triumph o'er the grave

Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave
My soul forever with the dead,
Nor lose thy children in the grave.

Till the last trumpet's joyful sound ;
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise.

I shall be near, and like my God !
And flesh aud sin no more control

And thousands walk together there ;

1 ETERNAL Power, whose high abode
Becomes tlie grandeur of a God ;
Infinite lengths, beyond the bounds
Where stars revolve their little rounds.
2 Thee while the first archangel sings,
He hides his face behind his wings ;
And ranks of shining thrones around
Fa" worshipping, and spread the ground.
R Lord, what shall earth aud ashes do ?
We would adore our Maker too ;
From sin and dust to thee we cry,
The Great, the Holy, aud the High !
4 Earth from afar hath heard thy fame,
And worms have learn 'd to lisp thy name ;
But 0 ! the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind !
6 God is in heaven, and man below :
Be short our tunes ; our words but few !
A solemn reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits silent on our tongues.
73
1 'T IS by the faith of joys to come.
We walk through deserts dark as night ;
Till we shall gain our endless home,
Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
2 The want of sight she well supplies,
She makes the pearly gates appear ;
Far into things unseen she pries.
And brings eternal glories near.
3 Cheerful we tread the desert through,
While faith inspires a heavenly ray,
Though lions roar, and tempests blow,
And rocks and dangers fill the way.
73 (Rossia.)
1 THUS far my God bath led me on.
And made his truth and mercy known ;
My hopes and fears alternate rise,
And comforts mingle with my sighs.
2 Temptations everywhere annoy.
And sins and snares my peace destroy ;
My earthly joys are from me torn,
And oft an absent God I mourn.
3 Is this, dear Lord, that thorny road
Which leads us to the niouut of God?
Are these the toils thy people know,
While in the wilderness below?
4 'Tis even so ; thy faithful love
Doth all thy children's graces prove ;
'Tis thus our pride and self must full,
That Jesus may be all in all.

Tune high your harps, and spread the sound
Throughout creation's utmost hound.

Our loftiest thoughts and loudest songs !
Let there be sung, with warmest joy,
Hosanna from ten thousand tongues.

Attempts in vain to reach thy name ;
The highest notes that angels raise
Pall far below thy glorious praise.

1 SO let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess ;
So let our works and virtue* shine
To prove the doctrine all divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God,
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion, and envy, lust and pride ;
While justice, temperance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord ;
And faith stands leaning on his word.

1 BLEST are the merciful, who prove
By acts, their sympathy and love ;
From Christ, the Lord, shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.
2 Blest are the pure, whose hearts are clean
From the defiling power of sin ;
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.
3 Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife ;
They shall be called the heirs of blisB,
The sons of God, the God of peace.
4 Blest are the sufferers, who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake- '
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord,
Glory and joy are their reward.

2 The Lord will come, but not the same
As once in lowly form he came ;
A silent Lamb to slaughter led,
The bruised, the suffering, and the dead.
3 The Lord will come, a dreadful form,
With wreath of flame, and robe of storm,
On cherub wings, and wings of wind,
Anointed Judge of human kind.
4 Can this be lie who, wont to stray
A pilgrim on the world's highway,
By power oppressed, and mocked by pride 1
O God, is this the Crucified?

" Rocks, hide us ! mountains, on us fall .' H
The saints, ascending from the tomb,
Shall juyful sing. " The Lord is come ! B
91 (Evening Sonu.)
1 WHILE in the world we still remain,
We only meet to part again ;
But, when we reach that heavenly shore,
We then shall meet to part no more.
2 The hope that we shall see that day
Should chase our present griefs away ;
A few short years of conflict past,
We meet around the throne at last.
3 Then let us here improve the hours,
Improve them to a Saviour's praise ;
To him with zeal devote our powers,
And run with joy in wisdom's ways.
4 Let all our meetings now be made
Subservient to each other's good ;
For worldly joys must quickly fade,
Nor can they yield substantial food.
5 Whene'er required to part from those
With whom the truth unites us here,
We'll call to mind the joyful close,
When Christ, the Saviour, will appear.
93 (Exhortation.)
1 HOW long, 0 Lord, shall I complain,
Like one that seeks his God in vain ?
How long my soul thine absence mourn,
And still despair of thy return ?
2 How long shall my poor troubled breast
Be with these anxious thoughts oppressed '
If thou withhold thy heavenly light,
I sleep in everlasting night.
3 Hear, Lord, and grant me quick relief,
Thy mercy now shall end my grief;
Fur I have trusted in thy grace.
And shall again behold thy tao*

1 Blest is the man, whose tender care, Relieves the poor in their distress ; Whose pity wipes the widow's tear, Whose hand supports the fatherless.

Shall see him in the latter day
In all his majesty appear.

This is my confidence and hope.

Not of constraint, but with delight,
Thy servants hither come to-day,
To honor thine appointed rite.

On these dear followers of the Lord ;
Exalted Head of all the church.
Thy promised aid to them afford.

The wonders of thy love explore ;
And, washed in thy redeeming blood,
Let them depart, and sin no more

And heaven will shine, with kindest beams,
On every work his hands begin

As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,

2 Friend of the friendless and the faint,
• Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where, but with thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor?
3 Did ever mourner plead with thee,
And thou refuse that mourner's plea ?
Does not the word still fixed, remain.
That none shall seek thy face in vain?

Tet God, my God, forgets me not ;
And he is safe, and must succeed.
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

My beauty are, my glorious dress ;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

For who aught to my charge shall lay ?
Fully, through thee, absolved I am
From sin's tremendous curse and shame.

When ruined nature sinks in years ;
No age can change its glorious hue ;
The robe of Christ is ever new.

Now bid thy banished ones rejoice !
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,

Forever moulder in the grave?
Canst thou forget thy glorious work.
Thy promise, and thy power to save .'
2 In those dark, silent realms of night
Shall peace and hope no more arise ?
No future morning light the tomb.
Nor day-star gild the darksome skies ?
3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears ;
When Christ our Lord from darkness sprang,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heaven with praise and wonder rang.

Descend to rebels dpom'd to die ;
'Tis mercy free, which knows no bound,-
How sweet, how blessed is the sound '.

When Christ, the holy child was born ;
And brighter still in splendor shone,
When Jesus, dying, cried, " "Tis done !"

Bursting the snares of all IDs foes,
When captive led captivity,

And could the sun behold the deed?
No ; he withdrew his cheering ray,
And darkness veiled the mourning day.

Where mingling grief and mercy flow,
And yet my heart so hard remain,
Unmoved by either love or pain ?

He hates to do his neighbor wrong.

For those that curse him to his face ;
And doth to all men still the same,
That he would hope or wish from them.

L HE lives — the great Redeemer lives!
What joy the blest assurance gives I
And now, enthroned above the skies,
He pleads his holy sacrifice.
1 Thus has he met our desp'rate case,
And given us lasting joy and peace ;
The Lamb, whose life can never end,
At once our sacrifice and friend.
t Great Advocate, almighty Friend,
On thee do all our hopes depend I
Our cause can never, never fail,
For thou dost plead, and must prevail.
t In every dark, distressing hour,
When sin and Satan join their power,
Let this blest truth repel each dart,
That Jesus bears us on hie heart.

1 COME, Holy Spirit, Dove divine I
On these baptismal waters shine.
And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
To praise the Lamb, for sinners slain.
2 We love thy name, we love thy laws,
And joyfully embrace thy cause ;
We love thy cross, the shame, the pain,
0 Lamb of God, for sinners slain I
3 We plunge beneath the mystic flood ;
O plunge us in thy cleansing blood!
We die to sin, and seek a grave
With thee, beneath the yielding wave.
4 And as we rise wilh thee to live,
O, let the Holy Spirit give
The sealing unction from above,
The breath of life, the fire of love !

1 GREAT God, to thee my evening song
With humble gratitude I raise;
0 let thy mercy tune my tongue,
And fill my heart with lively praise !
2 My days unclouded as they pass,
And every gently rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to thy love and power.
3 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Jesus ; his dear name alone
1 plead for pardon, gracious God,
And kind acceptance at thy throne.
4 Let this blest hope mine eyelids close ;
With sleep refresh my feeble frame ;
Safe in thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to thy name.

How many a tale their music tells
Of youth, and home, and native clime,
When I last heard their soothing chime.
2 Those pleasant hours have passed away,
And many a heart, that then was gay,
Within the tomb now darkly dwells.
And hears no more those evening bells

When other bards shall walk these dells,
And sing your praise, sweet evening bells.

1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high ;
To thee I will direct my prayer ;
To thee lift up mine eye :
2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone
To plead for all his saints,
Presenting at his Father's throne
Our songs and our complaint
3 Thou art a God before whose signt
The wicked shall not stand ;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.
I But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there ;
I will frequent thy holy court
And worship in thy fear
5 0, may thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness ;
Make every path of duty straight
And plain before my face !
140
1 MAY we throughout this day of thine
Be in thy spirit, Lord ;
And full of humble fear divine,
That trembles at thy word.
2 And full of faith, each heart to raise,
And fix on things above ;
And full of sacrifice and praise,
Of holiness and love.
1 NO longer far from rest I roam,
And search in vain for bliss :
My soul is satisfied at home j
The Lord my portion is.
2 His person fixes all my love ;
His blood removes my fear ;
And, while he pleads lor me above,
His arm preserves me here.
3 His word of promise is my food ;
His spirit is my guide ;
Thus daily is my strength renewed,
And all my wants supplied
4 For him I count as gain each lose ;
Disgrace, for him, renown ;
Well may I glory in his cross.
While he prepares my crown

Shine forth and chase the dreary night,

No loveliness we see ;
Our eye is on the royal crown
Prepared for us and Thee.
3 But 0 the thought of sharing, Lord,
Thy glory from above,
What is it to the brighter hope
Of dwelling in Thy love ?

Dnmingled, pure, and free,
Of union with our "living Head, —
Of fellowship with L'hw*?

5 This joy e'en now on earth is ours ;
But when thou, Lord, shalt come,
We'll learn the fulness of thy love,
In our eternal home.
6 There, near Thy heart, upon the throne,
Thy ransom'd Bride shall see
What grace was in the bleeding Lamb,
Who died to make her free.

1 GOD moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform ;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace ;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour ;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain :
God w his own interpreter,
And tie will make it 'ain

Had seized their troubled mind —
" Glad tidings of great joy I bring,

3 " To you, in David's town, this day,
Is born of David's line,
The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign :
4 " The heavenly babe you there shall find,
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
6 Thus spake the seraph ; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
6 u All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace ;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease I"
153
1 " SHEPHERDS, rejoice ; lift up your eyes,
And send your fears away ;

Salvation's born to-day I
2 " Jesus, the Lord, whom angels fear,
Come3 down to dwell with you ;
To-day he makes his entrance here,
But not as monarchs do.
8 " No gold, nor purple swaddling bands,
Nor royal shining things ;
A manger for his cradle stands,
And holds the King of kings I
Hymns to "SHERBURNE."
4 - \}o, shepherds, where the Infant lies,
And see his humble throne ;
With tears of joy m all your eyes,
Go, shepherds, kiss the Son."
5 Thus Gabriel sang— and straight around
The heav'nly armies throng ;
They tune their harps to lofty sound,
And thus conclude the song : —
6 " Glory to God who reigns above,
Let peace surround the earth ;
Mortals shall know their Maker's love,
At their Redeemer's birth."

Come heaven's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains.

And angels, with their 6parkling lyres,
Make music on the air.
3 The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply ;
And greet, from all their holy heights,
The day-spring from on high.
4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm,
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,
Her silent groves of palm.

To our incarnate Lord I
Let every heart, and every tongue,
Adore th! eternal Word.
2 That awful Word, that sovereign Power,
By whom the worlds were made —
Oh ! happy morn — illustrious hour ! —
Was once in flesh arrayed.
3 Then shone almighty power and love,
In all their glorious forms,
When Jesus left his throne above,
To dwell with sinful worms
4 To dwell with misery here below,
The Saviour left the skies,
And sunk to wretchedness and wo,
That worthless man might rise.
155
1 MORTALS, awake, with angels join,
And chant the solemn lay ;
Joy, love, and gratitude, combine
To hail th' auspicious day.
2 In heaven the rapturous song began,
And sweet seraphic fire
Through all the shining legions ran,
And strung and tuned the lyre.
3 Hark I the cherubic armies shout,
And glory leads the song ;
Good-will and peace are heard throughout
Th' harmonious angel throng.
4 Hail, Prince of life ! forever hail,
Redeemer, brother, friend !
Though earth, and time, and life should fail.
Thy praise shall never end.

He heaves the pensive sigh,
Yet, trusting in the Lord, he finds
Supporting grace is nigh.
3 If , to prevent his wand'ring steps,
He feels the chast'ning rod,
The gentle stroke shall bring him back
To his forgiving God.

The tiow'rs, that paint the field,
The trees, that crown the mountain s brow,
And boughs and blossoms yield, —
2 Resign the honors of their form
At winter's stormy blast,
And leave the naked, leafless plain,
A desolated waste.
3 Yet soon reviving plants and flowers
Anew shall deck the plain ;
The woods shall hear the voice of spring.
And flourish green again.
4 So, to the dreary grave consigned,
Man sleeps in death's dark gloom.
Until the final morning wake

To fill an empty mind : —

A soul-reviving feast,

For merit I have none :

I 'in saved by grace alone

And save me to the last.

1 FAITH adds new charms to earthly bliss,
And saves us from its snares ;
Its aid in every duty brings,
And softens all our cares.
2 It heals the deadly thirst of sin ;
It lights the sacred Are
Of love to God and heavenly things,
And feeds the pure desire.
3 The wounded conscience knows its power
The healing balm to give ;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer,
And make the dying live.
4 It shows the precious promise, sealed
With the Redeemer's blood ;
And helps our feeble hope to rest
Upon a faithful God.
B Wide it unveils celestial worlds,
Where deathless pleasures reign ;
Aud bids us seek our portion there,
Nor bids us seek in vain.

1 0, GLORIOUS day of heavenly rest.'
We hail each sign of thee ;
With eager hearts and longing eyes
We wait thy dawn to see.
Those gilded rays of glory bright,
Resplendent as the sun,
Must soon to every eye make known
The holy coming One.
2 With cheerful hope and earnest prayer,
Still trusting in thy word.
We long to see the eastern skies
Reveal thy advent, Lord.
Then would our waiting soals rejoice,
Could we thy face behold ;
In ages of triumphant bliss
Our joys could ne'er be* told
8 0, blissful day or promise blest,
We long to share thy peace !
When pain and every ill shall end,
And pleasures never cease ;
When rapt' rous joy, like holy fire,
Shall swell our song of praise,
And every wond'ring, grateful heart
Extol thy work of grace.
4 Redeemed beyond the reach of sin,
Victorious o'er the grave,
The ransomed shall, with angel tongues,
Adore thy power to save.
Thy wondrous love shall keep each heart
In sweetest union bound ;
And naught shall <-rer cause a tear,
For grief will ne'er be found.
5 There crowns of glory, gemmed with light,
The gifts from Christ's owu hand,
Shall every princely saint adorn
Within the promised land.
To goldeir lyres each voice shall tune
An anthem sweet and long :
" To Christ, who saved us by his blood,
All glory shall belong."

This thought is our repose,
That he, by whom this frame was reared,

In pains and dangers thou art nigh,

1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To niourniDg wanderers given : There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for ev' - ry wounded

1 JESDS, our hope, our life, our heaven,
The lingering times have llown ;
To thee the kingdom now is given ;
Return and claim thine own.
2 And, as we wait, along the skies
Unearthly glory steals,
And our glad spirits seem to rise,
To haste thy chariot wheels.
3 Although they seem to linger; still
Thy retinue on high
Is marshalled, and awaits the will
That bids their myriads fly.
4 Then we will wait, nor deem too long
The closiug hours of ^ra.ce.
But trim our lamps witli cheerful song,
Till we shall see thy face
229
1 AS Jesus died, and rose again
Victorious from the dead ;
So his disciples rise and reign
With their triumphant Head.
2 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds
Christ shall with shouts descend ;
And the last trumpet's awful voice
The heavens and earth shall rend.
S The saints of God, from death set free,
With joy shall mount on high ;
The heav'nly hosts, with praises loud.
Shall meet them in the sky.
4 Together to their Father's housr
With joyful hearts they go ;
And dwell forever with the Lord,
Beyond the reach of woe.

Poured forth the sacred flood.

And his blest voice to hear.

And g.ites of pearl survey ;

Shall in one song unite.
And each the bliss of all shall see

From earthly joy apart.
Hath sighed for oue that's far away,
The Bridegroom of thy heart.

The breaking morn is near;
And Jesus comes, with voice oflove,
Thy drooping heart to cheer.

No more can bear delay,
To scenes of full unmingled joy
To call his bride away.

1 HARK ! listen to the trumpeters,
They call for volunteers:
On Zion's bright au-i tlowery mount
Behold the officers !
2 Their horses white, their armor's bright,
With courage bold they stmd,
Enlisting soldiers for their King,
To march to Canaan's land.
8 To fee our armies ou parade,
How martial 'hey appear ;
All firmed and dressed in uniform,
They look like men of war.
4 We want no cowards in our bands,
That will our colors llv ;
We call for valiant hearted men,
Who're not afraid to die.
5 Sinners, enlist with Jesus Christ,
The eternal Son of God ;
And march with us to Canaan's land,
Beyond the swelling flood.
6 There on a green and flowery mount,
Where fruits immortal grow;
With angels all arrayed in white,
We our Redeemer know.
357 (Old Ninety-Fifth.)
1 THERE is a place of waveless rest,
Beyond this vale of tears,
Where beauty smiles eternally,
And naught of gloom appears.
2 My Father's house, my heavenly home,
Where many mansions stand,
Prepared by hands divine, for all
Who seek the better land.

With fear on every side-
When fiercely howls the gathering storm,
And foams the angry tide ;
4 Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom,
Breaks forth the light of morn,
Bright beaming from mv Father's house,
To cheer the soul forlorn.
6 In that pure home of tearless joy,
Enrth's parted friends shall me^t
With smiles of love that never fade,
And blessedness complete;

Death frowns not in that scene,
But life and glorious beauty shine,
Untroubled and serene.

The gospel trumpet now is still,

1 THE time draws nigh, when from the clouds
Christ shill with shouts descend;
And the last trumpet's awful voice
The heavens and earth shall rend.

And they who sleep shall wake;
The graves shall yield their ancient charge ;
While earth's foundations shake.
3 The saints of God, from death set free,
With joy shall mount on high ;
The heavenly hosts, with praises loud,
Shall meet them in the sky.
4 A few short years of exile past,
We reach the happy shore ;
Where death-divided friends, at last,
Shall meet to part no more.

Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,

No, not a drop of real joy,
Without Thy presence, Lord.

Where all my pleasures roll ;

The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race.
To call them sons of God!

How great we must be made ;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
3 A hope so much divine
May triah well endure ;
May purify our souls from sin,
As Christ, the Lord, is pure.
4 If iu my Father's love
I share a filial part,
Send down Thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.

Our faith shall Abbi, Father, cry,
And Thou the kindred own.

With all his strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,

I think how wise thy counsels are,
And all thy dealings kind.
4 Since thou hast been my help,
To thee my spirit flies ;
And on thy watchful providence
My cheerful hope relies.

My soul in safety keeps ;
I follow where my Father leads,

1 WITH Jesiis in our midst
We gather round the board ;
Though many, we are one in Christ,
One body in the Lord.
2 Our sins were laid on him.
When bruised on Calvary ;
Tor us he died and rose again.
A pledge of victory.
3 Faith eats the bread of life,
And driuks the living wine ;
Thus we, in love together knit,

1 MY soul ! repeat bia praise
Whose mercies are so great ;
Whose anger is so slow to rise.
So ready to abate.
2 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread \
So faj1 the riches of his grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
3 His power subdues our sins ;
And his forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.
4 The pity of the Lord,
To those who fear his name,
Is such as tender parents feel ;
Ue knows our feeble frame.
5 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower ;
If one sharp blast sweep o*er the field,
It withers in an hour.
6 But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure ;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

1 GIVE to the winds thy fears ;
Hope, and be undismayed ;
God hears tli v sighs and counts thy tears ;
God shall lift up thy head ;
Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way ;
Wait thou his time, so shall this night
Soon end in joyous dai"
2 Still heavy is thy heart?
Still sink thy spirits down ?
Cast off the weight— let fear depart,
And every care be gone.
What though thou rulest not?
Yet heaven, and earth, and hell,
Proclaim,— God sitteth on the throne,
And ruleth all things well.
3 Leave to his sovereign sway
To choose and to command ;
So shalt thou, wondering, own his way,
How wise, how strong bis hand !
Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully he the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fe&r

3 How glo - rious was the grace, When Christ sustained the stroke ! His life and blood the shepherd pays, A ran - som for the flock.

1 WHERE shall the man be found,
That fears t' otfend his God,

And all his love impart.

1 DEAR Saviour, we are thine
By everlasting bands ;
Our hearts, our souls we would resign
Entirely to thy hands.
2 To thee we still would cleave
With ever -growing zeal ;
If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
Oh let them ne'er prevail.
3 Thy spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee, our Head ;
Shall form us to thine image bright,
And teach thy paths to tread.
4 Death will our friends divide
Until that glorious day ;
But love shall keep us near thy side,
Through all the gloomy way.
5 Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or tear ?
When he on earth shall fix his throne,
He'll fix his members there.

1 IN every trying hour
My soul to Jesus flies ;
I trust in hie almighty power
When swelling billows rise.
2 His comforts bear me up
I trust a faithful God;'
The sure foundation of my hope
Is in my Saviour's blood.
3 Loud hallelujahs sing
To our Redeemer's name ;
In joy or sorrow, life or death,
His love is still the samu.

Astonished, shrink away.

What joyful tidings spread!

1 THE harvest dawn is near
The year delays not long;
And he who snws with many a tear,
Shall reap with many a song.
2 Sad to his toil he go&s,
His seed with weeping leaves ;
But he shall come at twilight's close,
And bring his golden sheaves.
3 But fearful vengeauce falls
On that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.

1 JESUS, my strength, my hope,
On thee I cast my care,
With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hear'st my prayer.
■ Give me on thee to wait,
Till I can all things do,
On thee, almighty to create.
Almighty to renew.
2 I want a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will.
That tramples down, and casts behind
The baits of pleasing ill.
A soul inur'd to pain,
To hardship, grief, and loss:
Bold to take up, firm to sustain,
The consecrated cross.
3 I want a godly fear.
A quick discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And sees the tmpter fly ;
A spirit still prepar'd,
And aim'd with jealous care,
For ever standing <>n its guard,
And watching uuto pra>er.

1 HOW happy are the little flock,
Who, safe beneath their guardian Kock,
In all commotions rest !
When war's and tumult's waxes run high,
Unmoved above the storm they he,
And lodge in Jesus' breast.
2 Such happiness, 0 Lord, have we,
By mercy gathered into thee
Before the floods descend ;
And while the bursting cloud comes down,
We mark the vengeful day begun,
And calmly wait the end.
3 The plague, the dearth, and din of war,
Our Saviour's swift approach declare,
And bid our hearts arise ;
Earth's basis shook confirms our hope j
Its cities' fall but lifts us up
To m*->-t ttu» in the skies.

Whilst I have such a Lord ;

Through all my passage lie ;
Yet he shall safely keep
And guide me with his eye ;
How can I sink with such a prop,
That bears the world and all things up !

The port of endless rest ;
Through grace I hope to stand
And sing among the blest :
Oh may 1 reach the heay'nly shore,
Where winds and waves distress no more !
5 Whene'er becalm'd I lie,
And all my storms subside ;
Then to my succor fly.
And keep me near thy side ;
For more the treach'rous calm I dread,
Than tempests bursting o'er my head.
6 Come, heavenly wind, and blow
A prosp'rous gale of grace ;
To waft from all helow
On to my destin'd place :
Then I ere long my port shall find.
And leave this weight of sin behind.

1 0 THE amazing change !
A world created new !
My thoughts with transport range
The lovely scene to view :
Thee, Lord divine, in all 1 trace;
The work is thine— thine be the praise.
2 Where pointed brambles grew,
Entwined with horrid thorn,
Gay flowers, forever new,
The painted fields adorn ;
The lily there, and blushing rose,
In union fair their sweets disclose.
3 Where the bleak mountain stood,
All bare and disarrayed,
See the wide branching wood
Diffuse its grateful shade ;
Tall oaks, and pines, and cedars nod,
And elms and vines confess their God.
4 The tyrants of the plain
Their savage chase give o'er ;
No more they rend the slain,
They thirst for blood no more ;
But infant hands fierce tigers lead,
And lions with the oxen feed.
6 0, when, almighty Lord,
Shall these glad scenes arise,
To verify thy word,
And bless our wond'ring eyes ;
That earth, with all her tongues, may raise
United songs of ardent praise?

Ye weary spirits, rest ;
Ye mournful souls, be glad.
The year of Jubilee is come ;

Your liberty receive,
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live.
The year of Jubilee is come ;
Keturn, ye ransomed sinners, home.
4 Ye who have sold for nought
Your heritage above.
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Je.-us" love.

Keturn, ye ransomed sinners, home.

The news of heavenly grace ;

1 Praise ye Jehovah's name,
Praise thro' his courts proclaim,
Rise and adore :
High o'er the heavens above
Sound his great acts of love,
While his rich grace we prove,
Vast as his power.
2 While his higo praise ye sing,
Shake every sounding string ;
Sweet the accord !
He vital breath bestows ;
Let every breath that floors
His noblest fame discloeu,
Praise ye the Lord.

Points to the noon below ;

Nor faint in heat or cold :

Draws round its wealth of gold.

That human hearts should know.

In service of thy Lord ;

1 BRETHREN, while we sojourn here,
Fight we must, but should not fear ;
Foes we have, but werve a Friend,
One that loves us to the end :
Forward, then, with courage go,
Fully armed to meet the foe.
2 In the way a thousand snares
Lie to take us unawares ;
Satan, with malicious art,
Watches each unguarded heart:
But from Satan's malice free,
Saints shall soon in glory be ;
3 But of all the foes we meet,
None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within :
Yet let nothing spoil your peace,
Christ shall also conquer these.

Let us in thy name agree ;
Each to each unite, endear ;
Come, and spread thy banner here.
2 Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, both in thought and word ;
Altogether like our Lord.
3 Let us for each other care ;
Each the other's burden bear ;
To thy church the pattern give ;
Show how true believers live.
4 Free from anger and from pride,
Let us still in God abide ;
May our daily life express
Constant love and holiness 1

1 JESUS, spotless Lamb of God,
Thou hast bought us with thy blood ;
We would value naught beside
Jesus, Jesus crucified.
2 We are thine, and thine alone ;
This we gladly, fully own ;
And in all our works and ways,
Only now would seek thy praise.
3 Help us to confess thy name,
Bear with joy thy cross and shame ;
Only seek to follow thee,
Though reproach our portion be.
4 When thou shalt in glory come,
And we reach our Eden home,
Louder still each lip shall own
We are thine, aud tbine alone.

Cleanse this guilty heart of mine ;

Held dominion o'er my soul.

Cheer this saddened heart of mine ;
Bid my many woes depart ;
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.

Dwell within this heart of mine ;
Cast down every idol throne ;
Reign supreme, and reign alone.

1 WHEN, my Saviour, shall I be
Perfectly resign'd to thee ?
Poor and vile in my own eyes,
Only in thy wisdom wise ?
2 Only thee content to know,
Ignorant of all below?
Only guided by thy light ?
Only mighty in thy might?
3 So I may thy Spirit know,
Let him as he listeth blow :
Let the manner be unknown,
So I may with thee be one : —
4 Fully in my life express
All the heights of holiness ;
Sweetly let my spirit prove
Ail the depths of humble love.

1 GRACIOUS Lord, incline thine ear,
My request vouchsafe to hear:
Burdened with my sins, I cry,
Give me Christ, or else I die.
2 Wealth and honor I disdain ;
Earthly comforts, Lord, are vain ,
These can never satisfy ;
Give me Christ, or else I die.
3 Lord, deny me what thou wilt,
Only ease me of my guilt :
Suppliant at thy feet 1 He ;
Give me Christ, or else I die.
4 Thou hast promised to forgive
All who in thy Son believe ;
On thy promise I rely ;
Give me Christ, or else I die.

1 'T IS my happiness below,
Not to live without the cross.
But the Saviour's power to know,
Sanctifying every loss :
2 Trials must and will befall ;
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all,
This is happiness to me.
o Bid I meet no trials here,
No chastisement by the way,
Might I not with reason fear
I should be a cast-away ?
4 Trials make the promise sweet \
Trials give new life to prayer,
Bring me to my Saviour e ieet,
Lay me low and keep me there.

When too lato to offer prayer.

And forever bar the skies:

He will say, " 1 know you not."

" Lord, we have professed thy name ;

1 LORD, a better heart bestow,
Hear i sinner's broken prayer ;
Full of weariness and woe,
To thy mercies I repair.
2 Once 1 thought I could amend
All the eril of my ways ;
To thy throue my steps could bend,
Do thy will and gain thy praise.
3 But in vain I toiled and prayed ;
Still 1 did but sin the more*,
All the efforts that I made
Showed me weaker than before.
4 Now I find no hand but one
Can deliver me from guilt ;
On the merits of thy Son
All my confidence is built.
5 Ruined, helpless, and forlorn,
To the Saviour's cross 1 flee ;
0, since Christ my sins hath borne,
Let my burdened soul go free !
376 '(Pleyel'h Hymn.)
1 LORD, we come before thee now ;
At thy feet we humbly bow ;
O, do not our suit disdain ! •
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

In compassion now descend ;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace;
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 In thine own appointed way
Now we seek thee, here we stay J
Lord, from hence we would not go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.
4 Comfort those who weep and mourn ;
Let the time of joy return ;
Those that are cast down, lift up ;
Make them strong in faith and hope.
5 Grant that all may seek, and find
Thee a God supremely kind ;
Ileal the sick, the captive free ;
Let us all rejoice in tuv.e.

Lord, remove this load of sin ;
Let thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.

Take possession of my breast ;
There thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.

Let thy love my spirit cheer ;

Let us all thy life receive.
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave ;
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve thee as thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise thee without ceasing.
Glory in thy perfect love.
4 Finish then thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be ;
Let us see thy great salvation,
Perfectly restor'd in thee :
Changed from glory into glory,
Till we reach our resting place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

1 RIGHTEOUS God I whose vengeful vials
All our fears and thoughts exceed,
Big with woes and fiery trials,
Hanging bursting o'er our head ;
While thou visitest the nations,
Thy selected people Epare ;
Arm our cautioned souls with patience,
Fill our humbled hearts with prayer.
2 If thy dreadful controversy
With all flesh is now begun,
in thy wrath remember mercy ;
Mercy first and last be shown.
Plead thy cause with sword and fire ;
Shake us till the curse remove ;
Till thou com'st, the saints' desire,
Crowning them with perfect love.
3 Every fresh alarming token
More confirms the faithful word ;
Nature, for its Lord hath spoken,
Must be suddenly restored.
From this national confuPion,
From this ruined earth and skies,
See the times of restitution,
See the new creation rise I
4 Vanish, then, this world of shadows!
Pass the former things away ;
Lord, appear 1 appear, to glad us
With the dawn of endless day !
0, conclude this mortal story !
Bring the life that shall abide ;
Come, eternal Kim; of glory,
Now descend and take thy bride !

Golden beams serenely glow ;
Pearly streams and crystal fountains,
On their banks sweet flow'rets grow.

On the freshest pastures feds us,
Turns our sighing into song.

Soon we bid farewell to pain ;

1 THE night is far spent, and the day is at hand :
Already the dawn may be seen in the sky ;
Rejoice then, ye saints, 't is your Lord's own command ;
Rejoice, for the coming of Jesus draws nigh.
2 What a day will that be when the Saviour appears !
How welcome to those who have shared in his cross !
A crown incorruptible then will be theirs,
A rich compensation for sufFring and loss.
3 What is loss in this world when compar'd with that day,
To the glory that then will from heaven be revealed ?
" The Saviour is coming," his people may say ;
" The Lord whom we look for, our Sun and our Shield."
4 O pardon us, Lord, that our love to thy name
Is so faint, with so much our affections to move !
Our deadness should fill us with grief and with shame ;
So much to he loved, and so little to love.

Thy power and grace, thy truth and justice claim
Immortal honors to thy sovereign name.

2 We 're going home, we soon shall be
Where the sky is clear and the soil is free,
Where the victor's song floats o'er the plain.
And the seraphs' anthems blend with its strain
Where the sun rolls down its brilliant flood,
And beams on a world that is fair and good,
Where stars, once dimm'd at nature's doom,
Will ever shine, o'er the new earth's bloom.
3 Where the tears and sighs that here were glv'n,
Areexchang'd for the gladsome song of heav'n ;
Where the beauteous forms which sing and
Are guarded well by a hand divine ; [shine,
Pure love's banner and friendship's wand
Are waving above that princely band,
And the glory of God, like a boundless sea,
Will bathe that immortal company.
'Mid the ransom'd throng, *mid the sea of bliss,
'Mid the holy city's gorgeousness,
'Mid the verdant plains, 'mid angel's cheer,
rMid the flowers that never of winter wear ;
Where the conqueror's song, as it sounds afar.
Is wafted on the ambrosial air;
Through endless years we Men shall prove
The depth of a Saviour's matchless love.

1 A FOUNTAIN in Jesus which runs always free,
For washing and cleansing such sinners as we !
Our sins, though like crimson, made white as the wool,
No lack in the fountain, but always is full.
2 All things now are ready, he invites us to come,
The supper is made by the Father and Sou ;
Rich bounties, rich dainties, here we may receive,
A home in the kingdom, if we but believe.
3 The guests who were bidden, refused the call ;
For they were not ready, nor willing at all
To be stripped of their honor, and part with their store,
For a feast that was given ^nd made for the poor.
4 If they are not ready, and wish to delay,
My house shall be filled, the Father dotlj 6ay ;
The highways and hedges, the halt and the blind,
Shall come and be welcome, the supper is mine.

Ait. and harmonized by Rev. "W. McDonald.
1 In the Christian's home in glory, There remains a land of rest, There my Saviour's gone be - fore me, To ful - fil my soul's reqnest;
2 lie is fitting up my mansion. Which eternally shall stand, For my stay shall not be transient, In that ho- ly, hap - py land.
3 Pain nor sickness ne'er shall enter, Griefnorwoemy lotshallshare, But in that ce - lea - tial cen-tre, I a crown of life shall wear.

THE VOYAGE.
"The Voyage." ^211
4 But when a heavenly breeze
Springs up and fills my sail,
My vessel goes with ease
Before the pleasant gale ;
And runs as much au hour, or more.
As in a month or two before.
6 The Bible is my chart.
By it the seas I know ;
I cannot with it part,
It rocks and sands doth show :
It is a chart and compass too,
Whose needle points for ever true.
6 When through the voyage I get,
(Though rough, it is but short,)
The pilot angels meet.
To bring me into port :
And when I land on that blest shore,
I shall be safe for evermore.

Of the cross, of the cross.
In nothing else my soul shall glory,
Save the cross, save the cross.

That Jesus suffered death for me.
On the cross, on the cross.

To the cross, to the cross.

Nor sickness can reach them, that country is healthy ;

And yet, guilty sinner, we would not forsake thee,
We halt yet a moment as onward we move ;

And bear thee along to the Eden of love.

Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound ;
Look ! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound ;
Steady, 0 pilot \ stand firm at the wheel,
Steady ! we soon shall outweather the gale,
0, how we fly 'ueath the loud creaking sail,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Into the harbor of heaven now we glide,
We're home at last, home at last ;
Softly we drift ou its bright silver tide,
We're home at last, home at last.
Glory to Ood ! all our dangers are o'er,
We stand secure on the glorified shore.
Glory to God, we shall shout evermore,
We're home at last, home at last.

HARK, from the realms of the blest bursts a song,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain,
Thousands of angels the anthem prolong,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain,
Loud as the thunders that mightily roar ;
Loud as the billows that break on the shore ;
Sweet as the notes which heav'n's harpers do pour,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain.
We here on earth would assist in the strain,]
Worthy the Lamb that was slain ;
We would take up the glad anthem again,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain ;
He hath redeemed us from sin and from woe,
Taught us his mercy and glory to kuow,
Ever his rapturous praise we would show '
Worthy the Lamb that was slain.
Soon shall we shout by the Bide of our King,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain ;
Soon with the angels his praise we shall sing,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain ;
Soon in his glory and power he shall come.
Soon shall he gather his ransomed ones nome '
Then shall we shout as we sit on his throne,
Worthy the Lamb that was slain.

THE pleasures of earth I have seen fade away ;

But pleasures more lasting in Jesus are given,
Salvation on earth, and the kingdom of heaven.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home —
The saints in those mansions are ever at home.

Allure me no longer, ye false glowing charms ;
The Saviour invites me, I'll go to his arms ;
At the banquet of mercy I hear there is room ;

0 Jesus, conduct me, I pray, to my home !

Farewell, vain amusements, my follies, adieu,
While Jesus, his kingdom and glory I view ;
1 feast on the pleasures that flow from his throne,
The foretaste divine of my heavenly home.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home —
O when shall I share the fruition of home?
4
The days of my exile are passing away ;
The time is approaching when Jesus will say,
" Well done, faithful servant, sit down on my throne,
And dwell in my presence, forever at home."
Home, home, sweet, sweet home —
0 there shall I rest with the Saviour at home !
5
Affliction and sorrow and death shall be o'er ;
The saints shall unite to be parted no more ;
Their loud hallelujahs fill heaven's high dome ;
They dwell with the Saviour, forever at home.

They dwell with the Saviour, forever at homo.

2 ' 'Tis finished !' all that heaven foretold, By prophets in the days of old ; And truths are opened to our view, That kings and prophets never knew.

Son of God, thy power Hath triumphed in this awful hour ; And yet our eyes with sorrow see That life to us was death to thee
let the joyful sound Be heard through all the nations round ; ' 'Tis finished !' let the triumph rise, And swell the chorus of the skies.

The star that on Israel shone ?
Say, if in your tents my beloved has been,
And where with his flock he has gone ?

His vestments shed odors around ;
The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine,
When autumn with plenty is crowned.
6 His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer sweet,
Is heard through the shadow of death ;
The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet,
The air is perfumed with his breath.
6 His lips as a fountain of righteousness flow,
That waters the garden of grace ;
From which their salvation the Gentiles may know.
And bask in the smiles of his face.
7 Love sits on his eyelids and scatters deb'gnt
Through all the bright mansions on high ;
Their faces the cherubim veil in his sight,
And praise him with fulness of joy.
8 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for his word ;
He speaks, and eternity, filled with his voice,
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.

Where heavenly pasture grows ;
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.

He doth niy soul reclaim,
And guides me, in bis own right way,
For his most holy name.

Our hearts in Christian love ;

Our fears, our hopes, onr aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes ;
Our mutual burdens bear ;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain ;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way ;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin we shall be free ;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

God takes so fearfully that he doth lend :
In chaplets gracefully memories weave,
She hath so peacefully left us to wreathe.
Mourn not her youthfulness perishing here,
For love and truthfulness cast out her fear ;
Mourn not, thou mother, the early grave given.
For she now rests in hope of the glories of heaven.
2 Death comes scarce welcomely to the young heart,
He bears him so gloomily doing his part ;
He weaves sueh dark fearfulness round our dim sigbA
We shrink with tearfulness back to life's light.
Bearing us carefully by life's frail way,
Oh, may we prayerfully watch out each daj ;
And if our frames breathlessly to earth are given,
At last with her deathlessly sit t<io in heaven.

Leading to thy blest abode.

Christ, thy Guide, will bear tbee through
2 Faint not, Christian ! though in rage
Satan doth thy soul engage ;
Take thee Faith's anointed shield,
Bear it to the battle Held.
3 Faint not, Christian ! though the world
lias its hostile flag unfurl'd ;
Hold the cross of Jesus fast,
Thou shalt overcome at last.
4 Faint not, Christian ! though within
There 's a heart so prone to sin :
Christ the Lord is over all,
He *11 not suffer thee to fall.
6 Faint not, Christian ! though thy God
Smite thee with the chastening rod ;
Smite He must, with Father's care,
That He may His love declare.

Soon in glory He '11 appear,
And his love will then bestow
Victory o'er every foe.

Hail, Messiah ! praise to thee !

Through the universe is rung ;
Now, in gentler tones, the wonders
Of redeeming grace are sung.
Wider now, and louder rising,
Swells and soars th1 enraptured strain.

More enchanting notes arise,
Till each anthem, wafted higher,
Joins the chorus of the skies.

Spreads o'er earth from pole to pole.

At his feet, in rapture lost,
We, in anthems everlasting.
Mingle with th' angelic host ;

And its joyous echoes roll.

In millennial glory crowned ;

And truth shall sit on ev? ry hill, And blessings flow in ev' - ry rill, And praise Bhall ev'ry heart employ, And evxy voice shall shout for joy

3 Our life as a dream, our time as a stream,
Glides swiftly away.
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4 The arrow is flown, the moment is gone ;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity 'e here.
5 0 that each in the day of his coming may say,
" I have fought my way through ;
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do."
6 0 that each from his Lord may receive the glad word,
11 Well and faithfully done !
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."

And earth is mad with it^ shining ore,
Anchor thy boat on the other shore.
Mariner, haste ! thou art weary now,
Shadows of suffering are on thy brow:
Fainting and weak, grasp the dipping oar-
Anchor thy boat on the other shore.

Home, where sorrows are all forgot?
Frieuds that will love thee, and change no more —
Anchor thy boat on the other shore.
Mariner, haste ! there is no time to sleep :
Push out thy boat where the dark, waters leap.
Toil bravely on though the wild breakers' roar —
Anchor thy boat on the other shore.

1 GREAT Shepherd of the flock,
To whom the sheep belong.
Be thou our trust and confidence,
Our glory and our song.
2 From every devious path

Be thou our constant guard and guide,
And let us stray no more.
3 With thirst and hunger pained,
When faint and near to die,
With living water, living bread,
Do thou our wants supply.

Till we a full repast obtain

Thy promised presence claim ;
Thou in the midst of us shalt be,
Assembled in thy name :
2 Thy name salvation is,
"Which here we come to prove :
Thy name is life, and health, ana peace,
And everlasting love.
3 Not in the name of pride
Or selfishness we meet ;
From nature's paths we turn aside,
And worldly thoughts forget
4 We meet the grace to take,
Which thou hast freely given ■
We meet on earth for thy dear sake,
That we may meet in heaven.

A messenger sent from the skies,
An anchor when billows shall roll,
A refuge when tempests arise.
4 0 Saviour, the promise fulfil ;
Its comforts impart to my mind;
Then calmly I '11 bow to thy will,
To the cup of affliction resigned.

If you will not journey with me I must go !

Should I too linger and with you perish ?

I'll blow the gospel trumpet loud,
And on the nations call;
For Christ hath me commissioned
To say he died for all.
Come try his grace, come prove him now,
You shall the gift obtain;
He will not send you empty away,
Nor let you oome in vain.
3
My soul looks up and sees him smile,
While he the blessing sends,
And I am thinking all the while —
" When will this journey end?"
I contemplate it can't be long
Till he will come again,
Then I shall join that heavenly throng,
And in his kingdom reign.
11 But stop," says Patience, "wait awhile,
The crown's for those who fight,
The prize for those who run the race
By faith and not by sight.''
Then Faith doth take a pleasing view,
Hope waits, Love sits and sings.
Desire flutters to be gone.
But Patience clips her wings.

God/s own little flock are sighing,
And in secret places crying,
"Jesus, come — ob come to reign
Here the wicked lived securely,
Of to-morrow boasting surely,
While from those who're walking purely
They extort dishonest gain;
Yea, the meek are burdeu'd, driven;
Want and care to them are given,
But they lift the cry to Heaven,
" Jesus, come — oh come to reifn."
Christian, cheer thee — land is nearing-
Still be hopeful — nothing fearing;
Soon, in majesty appearing,
You'll behold the Lamb once slain;
Oh how joyful then to hear him,
While all rations shall revere him,
Saying to his flock who fear him,

3 Corae, then, poor sinner, come away this moment,
Just as you are, come, filthy and polluted,
Come to the fountain open for uncleanness;
Jesus invites you.
4 But, if you trifle with his gracious message,
Cleave to the world and love its guilty pleasures,
Mercy, grown weary, shall in righteous judgment.
Quit you for ever.
5 Then you shall call, out he will not regard yo^,
Seek for his favor, yet shall never find it,
Cry to the rocks to hide you from bis presence,
Deep in their caverns.
6 Oh! guilty sinner, hear the voice of warning;
Fly to the Saviour, and embrace his pardon;
So' shall you fearless meet, with joy triumphant,
Death and the judgment!

heart,
3 In offering to heaven his strong, matchless prayer,
He spake of the torments the sinner must bear;
His life as a ransom he offered to give,
That sinner* redeemed in glory might live.
4 So deep was his sorrow, so fervent his prayers.
That down o'er his bosom roll'd sweat, blood, and tears '
I wept to behold him, and asked his name ;
He answer d, '"'Tia Jesus — from heaven I came.
5 " I am thy Redeemer — for thee I must die ;
The cup is most painful, but cannot pass by;
Thy sins like a mountain are laid upon me,
And all this deep anguish I suffer for thee !"
6 I heard with attention the tale of his woe,
While tears like a fountain of waters did flow;
The cause of his sorrow to hear him repeat,
Affected my heart, and I fell at his feet.
#^=£
7 I trembled with horror, and loudly did cry,
" Lord, save, or I perish ! O, save, or I die ! "
He smiled when he saw me, and said to me, " Live!
Thy sins, which are many, I freely forgive.-'
8 How sweet was that language! it made me rejoice I
His smile, 0, how pleasant ! how cheering his voice!
I ran from the garden to spread it abroad ;
I shouted, " Salvation ! 0, glory to God ! "
9 I'm now on my journey to mansions so bright.
My soui full of glory, of peace. lore and light !
I think of the garden, the prayer, and the tears,
And that loving stranger who bani.sh'd my fears.
10 The day of bright glory is rolling around.
When Gabriel, descending, the trumpet shall sound ;
My soul then in raptures of glory will risn.
To gaze on that stranger with unclouded fses.

1 HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear !
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his tear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit^whole,
And cairns the troubled breast ;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
3 Jesus our Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
Our Prophet, Priest, and King ;
Our Lord, our life, our way, our end,
Accept the praise we bring.

Aud cold our warmest thought,
Cut when we see thee as thou art,
We'll praise thee as we ought.

They bid us be in mirthful mood, And dry these tears so sad; But Judah's hearths are desolate, And how can we be glad 1
When/neath the curse, the groaning earth Sloans forth her plaintive prayer, How can we sing with joy and mirth? 0, no, her grief we'll share !
3 How can we sing when martyrs mourn,
"How long, U Lord, how iougV"
How can our souls gush forth in joy,
And swell with raptured song?
Then bid us not refrain from grief,
For we must still be sad;
Until the " Morning Star " arise,
We will no more be glad.

1 On time's tempestuous ocean wide,
A gallant ship set sail;
And out into the raging deep
She stood before the gale;
Well fitted to abide the storm,
And angry waters' foam,
And bring the captives that she bore.
Unto her haven home.

Long was to be her voyage — the time,
Six thousand years almost —
Ere she would make the highland height,
Along the heavenly coast;
Yet with her sails expanded wide,
On, on she swiftly flew;
Bearing with ardent hope and love
Her passengers and crew..
3 Oft tempests have assailed her round,
•And stormy winds rose high;
And dark have been the mountain waves,
That bore her to the sky ;
But o'er them all, with steady helm,
She onward pressed her way;
Her compass, true unto the pole,
Guides her to endless day.

Long, long she has bei
She nears her haven
A beacon light hangs o'er her bow,
And bids her thither come.
And voices joyful oft are heard,
And music swelling high;
The land! the land! the land ahead!
With rapture now they cry.
Now soon will she be safely moor'd,
And anchor'd in the bay;
And all her passengers, on shore,
Will keep a festal cfey;
And long their songs of joy will rise,
Beneath hi<rti heaven's dome—
They've passed the stormy sea of time,
Til 'v've reached their haven home.

True followers of the Lamb,
The same in heart and mind.
In thought and speech the same.
And all in love together dwell,
The comfort is uuspeakable.

The joys of heaven we prove :
This is the gospel grace.
The unction from above,
The Spirit on all believers shed
Descending swift from Christ our Head.
4 In him when brethren join,
And follow after peace,
The fellowship divine
He promises to bless:
He fills them with his cnoicest .store.
He gives them life for everuiow

But he asked as a boon, when he gave up the ghost,
That his brethren might know that he died at his poet.

Victorious his fall — for he'll rise where he fell,
With Jesus, his Master, in glory to dwell ;
He will pass o'er the sea, he will reach the bright coast,
For he fell like a mnrtyr — he died at his post.

Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold.

Such dazzling views hy human sight

Why should we linger here,

To keep in view the prize.

Vex and grieve thee, day by day;
And thy sinful inclinations
Often fill thee with dismay?
Thou shalt conquer —

A wintry hurricane aloof,
I heard his voice abroad, and flew
To bid him welcome to my roof.
I warm'd,and cloth'd,and cheer'd my guest,
Laid him on mine own couch to rest.
Then made the earth my bed, and seemed
In Eden's garden while I dreamed.
5 Stripp'd, wounded, beaten nigh to death,
I found him by'the highway side;
I rous'd his pulse, brought back his breath,
Revived his spirit, and supplied
Wine, oil, refreshment—he was healed,
I had myself a wound concealed,
But from that hour forgot the smart,
And peace bound up my broken heart.
6 In prison I saw him next, condemned
To meet a traitor's doom at morn;
The tide of lying tongues I stemmed,
And honor'd him 'mid shame and scorn.
My friendship's utmost zeal to try,
He asked if I for him would die.
The flesh was weak, my blood ran chill,
But the free spirit cried, " I will! "
7 Then, in a moment, to my view
The stranger started from disguise;
The tokens in his hands I knew, —
My Saviour stood befbre my eyes!
He spake, and my poor name he named—
t( Of me thou hast not been ashamed;
These deeds shall thy memorial be,
Fear not, thou didst it unto me."

Earth's wisdom sees advancing
The fabled golden dawn:
And genius, brightly glancing.
Her children urges on.
But when they wield the lightning,
And fly o'er land and sea,
Our better prospects bright'ning,
Now near at hand must be!
3
They hear the scoffer railing,
In triumph and in pride;
With blasphemies unfailing,
God's promise is denied;
But mercy's long endurance
With that vain infidel
Gives them a strong assurance,
By which the day they tell.
Magicians, too, are scheming,
As in old Pharaoh's land;
With counterfeits are teeming,
And thus the truth withstand;
Christ and the restitution
By them are done away;
But this, to their confusion,
Must usher in that day.
The Christian steward, slothful,
Puts off the evil day-
Disturbed in scenes unlawful,
He says, '■ It must delay."
But still, tho' by his smiting,
The faithful sigh in pain,
While he the truth is spiting.
The Master comes again!
THE WATCHERS Concluded.
See, fashion gay is blending
With mirth in yonder hall;
Its charm rich music tending,
And plenty spread for all.
But folly so untimely,
Such needless revelry,
The watchful tells, sublimely,
Their joys they soon shall see.
The thrones of earth are reeling,
lu sad perplexity;
Their retribution sealing
By pride and cruelty.
As ruler, warrior, banker,
Attest their hast'uing doom,
More stedfast is our anchor;
God's kingdom soou will come.
Thus earth's mad children seeming
Are found in that dread day;
Some scoffing, feasting, dreaming,
To judgment called away!
Their triumphs qow are ended;
Probation, hope, are gone!
Their fruitless cries are blended,
As vengeance rushes on!
But see that remnant humble,
Who held the faithful word,
So fearful they should stumble, —
While hope was long deferred.
The sons of earth are leaving
Their honor, mirth, and gold;
But these shall end their grieving,
In joys that can't be told!

Jesus did him relieve.
Come, brethren, ye who love the Lord,
And taste the sweetness of his word,
In Jesus' ways go on;
Our troubles and our trials here,
Will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home.

Amen, amen, my soul replies,
I'm bound for realms of Paradise,
To claim my mansion there;
Now here s my heart, and here's my hand,
To meet you in that heavenly land,
Where we shall part no more.

Why do they then appear so mean?
And why so much despised?
Because of their rich robes unseen
The world is not apprized.
But some of them seem poor, distress'd,
And lacking daily bread.
Ah, they're of boundless wealth possess'd,
With bidden manna fed.
5
But why keep they that narrow road,
That rugged, thorny maze?
Why, that's the .way their Leader trod;
They love and keep bis ways.
6
Why must they shun the pleasant path
That worldlings love so well?
Because that is the road to death,
The open road to hell.
7
What, is there then no other road
To Salem's happy ground?
Christ is the only way to God:
None other can be found.

Jesus, the Life, the Truth, the Way;
In whom I now believe,
As taught by thee, in faith I pray,
Expecting to receive.
Thy will by me on earth be done,
As by the powers above,
Who always see thee on thy throne,
And glory in thy love.
I ask in confidence the grace,
That I may do thy will,
As angels, who behold thy face,
And all thy words fulfil.
Surely I shall, the sinner I,
Shall serve thee without fear,
If thou my nature sanctify
In answer to my prayer.

2 Think on what your Saviour bore,
In the gloomy garden ;
Sweating blood at ev'ry pore,
To procure thy pardon.
See him nail'd upon the tree,
Bleeding:, groaning, dying !
See, he suffer'd this for thee ;
Therefore be believing.
3 Think of all your Saviour's grace ;
Thiuk how much he loves you ;
If he seems to hide his face,
It is thus he proves you.
Spread your wants before his throne ;
Tell him f*ach temptation :
Trust him while you are cast down ;
Wait hia sure salvation.
4 Brethren, don't you feel the flame ?
Sisters, don't you love him?
Let us join to praise his name;
Let us never grieve him.
Sonn we'll meet to part no more,
For our home is m-aring ;
Soon our sorrows will be o'er,
At his bright appearing.

1 0 HOW beautiful their feet,
Standing on the mountains,
Publishing the tidings sweet
Of Life's flowing fountains.
Mercy, Truth and plenteous grace,
Sweet as heavenly manna,
Now revealed unto our rane —
Shout, and ping hosanna !
2 Jesus once on earth appeared,
To relieve our blindness ;
And the Stricken heart he cheered,
Showing wondrous kindness.
Wiped he then the weeping eyes
With God-like compassion ;
Life's pure waters did arise
From wells of salvation.
3 Now, glad tidings we have heard.
And with heaits o'er-flowing,
Praise Jehovah for His word,
Our condition showing.
Soon His foes he will subdue
By His mighty power ;
Make the earth aud all things new.

They stand secure and steadfast still;
Nor Zion's hill abides so sure.

When once the Judge appears ;
And sun and moon decay
That measure mortal years ;
But still the same, in radiant lines,
The promise shines through all the flame.

Through my attentive ears.
When thunders cleave the ground
And dissipate the spheres ;
'Mid all the shock of that dread scene,
I stand serene — Thy word my rock.

1 WHY that look of sadness ?
Why that downcast eye?
Can no thought of gladness
Lift thy soul on high ?
0, thou heir of heaven,
Think of Jesus' love,
While to thee is given
All his grace to prove.
2 Is thy burdened spirit
Anguished for thy sin ?
Think of Jesus' merit :
He can make the* clean :
Think of Calvary's mountain,
Where his blood was spilt ;
In that precious fountain
Wash away thy guilt.
8 Is thy spirit drooping?
Is the tempter near ?
Still on Jesus hoping,
What hast thou to fear ?
Set the pri2e before thee ;
Gird thy armor on ;
Heir of grace and glory,
Struggle for thy crown.

1 COME, all ye sons of Zion,
Who are waiting for salvation,
Have your lamps trimmed and burning,
For behold the proclamation,
Saying, All things now are ready
For the poor and for the needy ;
All my fatlings now are killed,
And prepared on the table.
2 0 what a happy meeting,
When salvation is completed,
And tribulation 's ended,
And the spotless robe prepared,
For the Bride to be adorned,
In the jasper wall be crowned,
Saying, Worthy is the Lamb,
In the new Jerusalem !
3 0 sinners, don 't he doubting,
While the sons of God are shouting ;
Come and join the happy army,
And there 's nothing that will harm you.
If you follow Christ, the Saviour,
And break off your bad behaviour,
And repent and be converted,
You may sing his praises too.

1 RISE, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace :
Rise from transitory things
Toward thy destined place :
Sun and moon, and stars decay,
The Lord will soon this earth renew ;
Rise, my soul, and haste away,
To seats prepared for you.
2 Fly me riches, fly me cares,
While I that coast explore :
Flatt'ring world, with all thy snares,
Solicit me no more.
Pilgrims, fix not here your home,
Strangers tarry but a night :
When the last great morn shall come-
We'll rise to joyful light!
3 Come, my brethren, face the storm,
Press onward to the prize :
Soon our Saviour will return,
Triumphant in the skies :
Yet a season, and yon know
Happy entrance will be given ;
All our sorrows left below,
And earth renew'd and heavon.

Pursue the road to God,

The Saviour, too,
E'en with his dying groans,
Cries, Bid adieu
To all your lovers now,
And to his sceptre bow.
And he will tell you how,
To live anew.
3 I bid you all farewell,
With aching heart,
And in deep sorrow tell,
That we must part.
To meet the Lord we go,
And you are bound to woe ;
Alas it must be so
If you rebel.

And hoping say,
Why wont you leave your sin
And come away
From Satan's cruel power,
And live forevermore,
And bless the jovful hour
That life began ?

1 BY whom was David taught
To aim the dreadful blow,
When he Goliah fought,
And laid the Gittite low ?
No sword or spear the stripling took,
But chose a pebble from the brook.
2 'T was Israel's God and King
Who sent him to the fight ;
Who gave him strength to sling.
And skill to aim aright.
Te feeble saints, your strength endures.
Because young David's God is yours

To storm the invaders camp>

With arms of little worth,
A pitcher and a lamp ?
The trumpet made his coming known,
And all tlie host was overthrown.

When with a single word,
(God helping us to say,
Our trust is in the Lord,)
Our souls have quelled a thousand foes,
Fearless of ail that could oppose.

Self-righteousness and pride,
How often do they steal
Our weapons from our side!
Yet David's Lord, and Gideon's friend,
Will help his servants to the end.

This is my song-
Cheers the heart when joys depart,
And foes are pressing strong.
2 Here in this vale of sin and sorrow
I have been wand'riug many years ;
Still lookiug for that happy morrow,
When God would wipe away my tears.

Fain then would lead my steps astray;
But when the clouds begin to lower,
Hope turns the darkueBs into day.

Through trials dark and drear,

Friends in the grave so dark,
While some are spared, we sometimes fear
We too with them must part.

That day we long to see,
That day we long to see,
We're toiling here, by cares opprest
But soon we shall be free.

Shall wipe our tears away,
And change our sorrows, griefs, and fears,
To joys in endless day.

Ten thousand times, and more.
Repay for all we suffer here
On that immortal shore.
8 That glorious kingdom, promised long,
So soon to be revealed,
The seers desired to understand,
But lo, the time was sealed.
But now, within a little space,
The signs have been fulfilled
That should precede that glorious rest,
The earth with glory filled.
4 The splendor of that earth so bright,
No language can describe,
The broad-spread fields of living green,
Where gentle waters glide.
Rich groves, with trees of golden fruit,
And flowers with sweet perfume,
The tow'ring pine, the bos, the fir,
With deserts all in bloom.
6 Zion, great city of our King,
Fill'd with his glory bright,
'T is fifteen hundred miles four square,
No ear hath heard the like.
The splendid walls of precious stone
With streets of purest gold,
The gates of solid pearls are hung,
Most beauteous to behold.

Though waves like mountains rise,

The everlasting prize.

Like nothing, sink away.

Beautified with costly stone ;
Lovely is her form before me ;
Bright as the meridian sun.

Revelation does declare,
Length and breadth and height are equal,
And her platform lies four square
Fifteen hundred miles extended —
North, and South, and East, and West-
Fifteen hundred miles most splendid,
See her buildings rise abreast.
3 See her pearly gates all spreading
To receive the righteous there ;
Whom the gracious Saviour 's aiding
To her holy mansions fair.
See her golden streets all paved,
As the righteous march along,
Where the nations of the saved
Join in one eternal song.

Near the throne of God, Supreme ;

1 I LOVE the holy Son of God,
Who once this vale of sorrow trod,
Who bore my sins, a dreadful load,
Up Calvary's gloomy mountain :
There on the cros3 the Saviour hung,
The sport of many an impious tongue,
While pain extreme his nature wrung,
And flowed life's crimson fountain.
2 The sun would not behold the scene,
But round him threw night's sable screen;
Nature was robed in mourning mien,
And sighed when Jesus suffered.
But ah ! his persecutors stood,
Reviling Christ, the Son of God,
Unmoved to see his gushing blood,
And shocking insults offered.
3 0 ! why did not his fury burn.
And floods of vengeance on them turn?
Amazing ! see his bowels yearn
In soft compassion, on them.
No fury kindles in his eyes,
They beam with love — and when he dies,
"Father, forgive,"1 the sufferer cries,
" They know not "—0 forgive them.
4 How ardent ought my love to be
To him who's done so much for me ;
My constant service, faithful, free —
And all my powers employing.
I should my cross with pleasure bear,
And place my all of glory there,
In his reproach most gladly shore
In tribulation joying
404
5 And never shall it be concealed.
He hath to me his love revealed,
Of all my sins a pardon sealed—
I feel his blessed favor :
In him I do and will rejoice ;
I'll praise him with a cheerful voice.
Until the theme my tongue employs
In realms of bliss forever.

Of its wonders and pleasures untold :
But what must it be to be there ?
3 We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation and care,
From trials without and within ;
But what must it be to be there?
4 We speak of its service of love ;

Of the raptures which every heart move ;

And shortly we also shall know,
And feel what it is to be there.

1 THE great, tremendous day 's approaching,
That awful seeue is drawing nigh ;
Was long foretold by ancient prophets,
Decreed from all eternity.
But 0, my soul, reflect and wonder !
That awful scene is drawing near,
When you shall see the great transaction,
When Christ, in judgment shall appear.
2 See nature stand all in amazement,
To hear the last loud trumpet sound ;
Arise, ye dead, and come to judgment,
Ye nations of the world around !
Loud thunders rumbling thro' the concave,
Bright, forked lightnings part the skies ;
The heavens are shaking, the earth is quaking,
The gloomy sight attracts mine eyes.
3 Green, turfy grave-yards and tombs of marble,
Give up their dead, both small and great ;
See '. the whole world, both saints and sinners,
Are coming to the judgment-seat.
See Jesus on the throne of justice,
Comes thundering down the parted skies,
And countless armies of shining angels,
With hallelujahs shout for joy.
4 Bright shining streams from his awful presence,
His face ten thousand suns outshine ;
Behold him coming iu power and glory,
To meet him. all his saints combine.
Go forth, ye heralds, with speed like lightning,
Call in my saints from distant lands,
Those that my blood from sin has ransomed,
Whose names in life's fair book do stand.
6 0 come, ye blessed of my Father,
The purchase of my dying love ;
Receive the crowns of life and glory,
Which are laid up for you above.
For you, my saints, which have continued
With me, and my temptations bore,
I have provided for you a kingdom,
To reign with me forever more.
6 There's flowing fountains of liviug water ;
No sickness, pain, nor death to fear ;
No sorrow, sighing, no tears nor weeping
Shall ever have admittance there.
Buthow will sinners stand and tremble,
When justice calls them to the bar !
Those that reject his offer 'd mercy,
Their everlasting doom to hear.

Notes of pensive song,
Full of faith and love now mingling,
Sweetly it floats along :

Peal the glorious sound !

From beneath the cold, cold ground !

Of the end of time ;

Next, the last great sign.

In a voice of love ;
And the sands of time are falling,—
Come, then, no longer rove.
Now the men of might are wakening,
And their doom is near j
Soon the heavens will be shaking,
And then will the Judge appear.
Then will the trumpet sound, &c.

On that happy shore,
And the crystal streams are flowing,
Where grief and sufferings are o'er ;
There the saints of God, immortal,
Praise their glorious King,
'Neath Jerusalem's bright portal,
Happy, forever sing.
Come, then, dear Saviour.
Let the trumpet sound !

Skeptic, go thy way.

For centuries has stood,
Unharmed amid the strife,
When earth was drunk with blood ;
And would'st thou harm it now,
And have its truths forgot?
Skeptic, forbear the blow,
Thy hand shall harm it not.
3 Its very name recalls
The happy hours of youth,
When in my grandsire's halls
I heard its tales of truth ;
I've seen hi* white hair flow
O'er that volume as he read ;
But that was long ago,
And the good old man is dead.
4 My dear grandmother, too,
When I was but a boy,
I've seen her eyes of blue
Weep o'er it tears of joy.
Their traces linger still,
And dear they are to me ;
Skeptic, forego thy will —
Go — let that old book be.

When Satan's reign shall be o'er,

And blossom as Eden fair,
While vine-clad hills and leaping rills
Shall praise to Immanuel bear.

When the sorrows of life shall be o'er,
Our loved ones, we hope soon to meet them,
On Eden's fair, beautiful shore ;
The glorious thought, how consoling,
To know that the time is so nigh,
When Jesus, the world, shall, controlling,
Permit us to join them on high.
2 We shall greet them at home, we shall greet
them,
Though now they are hid from our sight,
We think of the time we shall meet them,
And it oft fills our hearts with delight,
We have laid them away in deep sadness,
Yet not without hope in our breast,
For again they will join us with gladness,
And enter the heavenly rest.

them,
Where nothing can ever divide,
Where sickness, or death, cannot harm them,
Nor tear them again from our side ;
There we '11 range beside life's cooling river,
'Neath the tree of life's shade we shall roam,
With the glory of God shining ever,
We '11 greet them, we '11 greet them at home.

1 I LOVE it, I love it, and who shall dare
To chide me for loving the house of prayer ?
HYMNS AND SONGS.
I have prized it long as a holy place,
Where my gracious Lord shows his smiling face.
Do you ask me why I linger here ?
Why the place to me is so sweet and dear T—
Here my soul was saved from the fowler's snare,
And a sacred place is the house of prayer.
2 'Tis a place of peace and a place of rest,
And of all the earth this place is the best ;
Here we feast on love and abound in joy —
Our hearts beat with hope and our tongues we
employ
In the praise of Him who came to save
From the guilt of sin, and the power of the
grave —
His love and truth we here declare,
And we love to pray in the house of prayer.
3 Here the meek and lowly in heart agree
To raise the voice while they bend the knee.
And gentle showers of grace distil,
Our hearts to cheer, our souls to fill.
Let the vain and proud this place pass by —
Let them scorn the thought to linger nigh ;
But I love it, I love it, and will declare
That there is no place like the house of prayer.
4 No place like this beneath the sun ;
But there'll be a place in the world to come,
Where the wicked will not trouble the blest,
Where the weary soul will forever rest,
Where the prayer of faith finds its great reward,
And the faithful ones will be with the Lord ;
But until my soul shall enter there,
Let me still delight in the house of prayer.

1 THE midnight cry in mercy sounds ;
The faithful watchman lifts his voice ;
Its thrilling tones re-echo round,
To bid the saint3 rejoice.
Then, virgins, rise, break forth and sing
The glorious Advent of your King !
The Midnight Cry in mercy sounds,
Go forth to meet your Lord !
2 Blow! Watchman— blow a certain sound!
For dark and dangerous is the night,
And daring scoffers thicken round —
The evil servants smite ;
The faithful ones strict watch-care keep,
With lamps well trimm'd — nor can they sleep
The Midnight Cry in mercy sounds,
Go forth to meet your Lord !
3 Though midnight hour, God's word sheds light,
Its brilliant rays dispel the gloom ;
The pilgrim's pathway now grows bright —
The King is coming soon.
Then tune your harps once more, and sing
Your sweetest strains to Zion's King.
The Midnight Cry in mercy sounds,
Go forth to meet your Lord !
4 Behold ! he comes — the mighty One —
Ye virgins, rise ! go forth and meet !
Dry up your tears ! the Bridegroom comes,
His weeping bride to greet.
The trumpet sounds — the day has broke—
The living changed — the dead awoke,
To blend their songs in gushing strain*
All hail ! Messiah rouens !

And bow to heaven's stern decree,
He plainly saw the hour was nigh
When many sighed with grief, while he,
The victim, came serene and mild,
The back laid bare, the scourge he took,
And bleeding on the cross was nail'd,
While Nature feels the pond'rous stroke.
And now each weeping saint their grief, their grief partook,
And now each weeping saint their grief, their grief partook,
In anguish sigh'd — while he died —
In anguish sigh'd— while he died —

What mournful thoughts pervade each breast —
When, suddenly, bright forms appear —
Earth shakes, the soldiers stand aghast —
And lo, the Son of God comes forth —
A mighty conqueror o'er the grave !
Go, Mary, tell the joyous truth —
I live again, with power to save !
And now each joyful saint their joy, their joy partake,
And now each joyful saint their joy, their joy partake,
Hearts once sad, now made glad ;
Hearts once sad, now made glad ;
Jesus lives again !
Jesus lives again !
The conqueror of the grave.

He thus fulfils his faithful word ;
From North to South, irom East to West,
At homo, abroad, all things proclaim ;
Now signs reveal his kingdom nigh,
Faith says it cannot be deferred ;
Behold, at baud the promised rest!
All things restored, Messiah's reign !
And now each waiting saint their joy, their joy bespeaks,

While they sing, heavens ring j

1 THE people called Christians how many things they tell,
About the land of Canaan, where the saints with Christ shall dwell j
But sin, that dreadful ocean, encloses them around,
While its tide still divides them from Canaan's happy ground,
2 Thousands have been impatient to find a passage through,
And with united wisdom have tried what they could do ;
But vessels built by human skill have never sailed far.
Till we have found them aground on some dreadful sandy bar.
3 The everlasting gospel has launch'd the deep ab last,
Behold her sails extended around the towering masts ;
Along the deck in order the joyful sailors stand,
Crying, ho ! here we go ! to Lmmanuel's happy land.
4 To those who stand spectators what anguish must ensue,
To see their old companions bid them a last adieu ;
The pleasures of your paradise no longer can invite,
Uere we sail, you may rail, but we '11 soon be out of sight.
5 We are now on the wide ocean, we bid this world farewell,
And where we shall cast anchor, the scriptures show full well,
About our future destiny there need be no debate,
While we ride on the tide with our captaiu and his mate.
6 The passengers united in order, peace and love,
The wind 's all in our favor, how sweetly we do move,
Let tempests now assail us and raging billows roar,
We shall sweep through the deep till we reach that happy shore.
7 This peaceful port we '11 enter, though towering billows roar,
And join with saints and angels our Saviour to adore ;
The Captain of salvation will bring us safe to land,
In the gospel ship, 0 glory ! to join the heavenly band.

The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain ;
But when such suggestions our graces have tried,
This answers all questions, the Lord will provide.

Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' own name ;
In this, our strong Tower, for safety we hide, —
The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide.

The word of his grace shall guide us safe thro' ;
Nor fearing, nor doubting, with Christ on our side,
We then shall rise shouting, the Lord will provide.

Of their hopes they're now bereft ;

Soon you'll see with your own eye

In a cloud of glory bright.
Seated on his dazzling throne;
Myriads, clad in spotless white,
Surround the Mighty One.

Before him in that day ?
Can you raise your pucy hand
Or lift your voice and say,
I was not warned of danger by
God's fiithfnl watchmen and his word?
Ah, you heeded not their cry ! —
God's waroiDg was deferred.

And poignant grief impart.

Ere the day of mercy:s past,
And you in horror stand and cry,

A bright and better d;iy ;
A glorious home, a goodly land,
The blessed heaveuly rest :

And fall the briny tears;
My heart is grieved with trials sore,
And press'd with many cares.
The better land no sorrow knows —
There, hush'd is every sigh ;
The Saviour's hand in kindness wipes
The tear-drop from each eye.

The blessed promise given.
To cheer the heart — the loi.ely one,
Towards that promised heaven.
The humble path my Saviour walk'd,
I scorn it not to tread ;
The frowns and scoffs my Saviour bore
May fall upon my head.

My soul rejr.icetb free,
The glorious light the gospel gives,
Is light that shines for me.

In that bright world I'll live again,
A conqueror's crown to wear.

Great God, without thy grace,
My loudest words, my loftiest songs,
Would be but sounding brass.

Each myst'ry to explain ;
Without a heart to do thy will
My knowledge would be vain.

As mountains to remove,

That did not work by love.

Whatever be denied —
That love divine may rule my breast,
And all my actions guiae.

The angels are attending —
How swift their downward flight :
The saints now upward rising,
The holy angels greet, —
An army vast comprising,
In holiness complete.
4 A city, too, in splendor,
Shall to the earth descend;
Earth's kingdoms shall surrender,
And wickedness shall end ;
Messiah's kingdom holy
Upon the earth shall bloom, —
There all the meek and lowly
Will find an endless home. -

1 THE old Israelites knew what it was they must
If fairTanaan they would possess, [do,
They must still keep in sight of the pillar of
light,
Which led on to the promised rest.
2 The camps on the road could not be their abode
But as oft as the trumpet should blow,
They all, glad of a chance of a further advance
Must then take up their baggage and go.
3 Now the cross-bearing throng are advancing
along,
And a closer communion doth flow ;
Now all who would stand on the promised land,
Let them leave all their baggage and go.
4 What though some in the rear preach up terror
and fear,
And complain of the trials they meet ;
Tho' the giants before with great fury do roar,
I am resolved I will never retreat.
6 We are little,'tis true, and our numbers are few,
And the sons of old Ana's are tall ;
But while I see a track, I will never go back,
But go on at the risk of my all.
6 Now the moroing doth dawn for the camps to
move on,
And the priests with the trumpets do blow ;
As the priests give the sound and the trumpets
All my soul is exulting to go. [resound,
7 But on Jordan's near side I can never abide,
For no pla^e of refuge I see,
Till I come to the spot and inherit the lot,
Which the Lord will then give unto me.

1 IN the world we shall have tribulation,
Here trials and sorrows abound ;
Whatever our lot or our station,
No permanent rest can be found.
But He #ho has loved us has promised
A country where peace shall remain,
And also that all his disciples
That heavenly country shall gain.
2 On the earth we are pilgrims and strangers,
We are seeking the city of God,
Our way is encompassed with dangers,
The way that all Christians have trod,
But Jesus our Lord wiU. attend us,
As saints have all proved in the past —
His power and truth will defend us,
And give us the kingdom at last.
3 While here, we shall meet with temptations,
The world will present all its charms,
And he who deceiveth the nations,
Would gladly throw round us his arms.
Yes ; Satan will ever annoy us,
His darts he will hurl at the just ;
But surely he ne'er can destroy us,
So long as in Jesus we trust.
4 Our days of affliction and sadness
Will soon all b« numbered and passed ;
Our mourning succeeded by gladness,
Thank God, we shall triumph at last.
The day of redemption is dawning,
Its signs in the heavens appear,
Most speedily cometh the morning,
Christ's glorious kingdom is near.

Source of light, and flame of love,
Symbol of divine communion,
In the olive-bearing dove.

Comforter of minds distressed ;
When the billows fill with terror,

May our lips thy glories show.

Signs and wonders there shall be ;
Earth shall quake with inward wars,
Nations with perplexity.

Tossed with stronger tempests, rise;
Darker storms the mountains sweep,
Fiercer lightnings rend the skies.
3 Evil thoughts shall shake the proud,
Racking doubt and restless tear ;
And, amid the thunder-cioud,
Shall the Judge of men appear.

Heaven shall fade and earth shall fly,
Fear not ye, his chosen race;
Your redemption draweth nigh.

In righteousness fully arrayed ;

Feelings worthy of a slave ?

Where death triumphant reigns,
For a beautiful home in that land of bliss
Where all is happiness, joy and peace,
And nothing can enter that pains-.
There is no more sorrow and no more night,

The crucified Lamb is its glorious light.
And the saints shall walk with him in white
In that happy, endless day.

For we know that the Saviour will soon appear.

See the city all on fire,
How it sinks beneath the flame !

On the mystic, drunk with gore ;

And the wedge of golden ore :

His life-blood on the cursed tree,
Bowed on the cross his blessed head,
And died to make his brethren free.
2 Through suff 'ring there, beneath his feet
He trod the fierce avenger down ;
There power itself and weakness meet —
Emblem of each, yon thorny crown.
3 Fruit of the curse, the tangled thorn
Showed that he bore its deadly sting;
The crown, 'mid Israel's cruel scorn,
Marked him as earth's anointed King.

Its rightful Heir shall yet receive ;
When every tongue shall own his worth,
And all creation cease to grieve !

Canst give thy weary people rest ;

This groaning earth can ne'er be blest.

Whose beauties are untold,
Whose walls are built of jasper,
With.streets of finest gold.

And honors well may bring,
Within thy massy portals,
Great city of our King.

Or sun or moon to shine.
The Lord thee will enlighten,
His glories are sublime.
The nations of the saved
Shall walk in glory bright,
With Christ the son of David,
Thine everlasting light.

Within thy sacred dome,
With waters clear as crystal
Proceeding from the Throne.
The tree of life so healing,
On either side the stream,
Whose branches gently waving,
Add grandeur to the scene.

Drink from life's cooling stream,
Which when you once have tasted,
You ne'er will thirst again,

Gems from the mountain, or pearls from the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine ?

Lose all our sorrow, and trouble, and strife ;

Black clouds are gath'ring fast ;

Thy days of mirth are past.

Red flames are bursting round ;
Bright lightnings flash, loud thunders roar;
How shakes the trembling ground '.

Behold the Judge appears ;
Unnumber'd millions throng around,
liaised from the dust of years.
4 Dark brood the heavens o'er thee !
Soon thou wilt hear thy doom ;
Destruction opens wide tor thee,
Thy chosen, final borne.
6 Yet stay — the vision lingers ;
Why, sinner, wilt thou die?
Dark brood the heavens, but mercy waits,
This hour to Jesus fly.

And hark, what pieieing shrieks !
Those daring rebels noYv expire,
For God in justice speaks.
2 0 sinner, mark thy fate !
Soon will the Judge appear ;
And then thy cries will come too late ;
Too late for God to hear.
3 Thy day of mercy gone.
The Spirit grieved away,
Thy cup, long filling, now o'erflown,
Demands the vengeful day.
4 Thy God, insulted, seems
To draw his glittering sword ;
And o'er thy guilty head it gleams,
To vindicate his word.

Full of pity, love and power ;

Seated on his Father's throne !
Now, poor sinner, Christ shall show thee
He is the eternal Son.
Trumpets call thee ;
Come to hear thy awful doom !
2 Hear the sinner thus lamenting,
At the thoughts of future pain ;
Cries and tears he now is venting,
But he cries and weeps in vain ;
Greatly mourning
That he ne'er was born again.
3 lt Tonder stands the glorious Saviour,
With the marks of dying love ;
Oh, that I had sought his favor,
When I felt his Spirit move!
Doomed justly,
For I have against him strove.
4 " All his warning I have slighted,'
While he daily sought my soul ;
If some vows to him I plighted,
Yet for Bin I broke the whole ;
Golden moments,
How neglected did they roll !
5 " Yonder stand my godly neighbors,
Who were once despised by me ;
They are clad in dazzling splendor,
Waiting my sad fite to see —
Farewell, neighbors;
Dismal gulf! I'm bound for thee 1 "

Hope and sinners here must part ;
Louder than a peal of thunder,
Hear the dreadful sound, " Depart,"
Lost forever !
How it quails the sinner's heart !

Of hope beyond the grave.

Will seize it for his own.

Unto celestial wealth,
Joy to the sons of poverty,
And to the sick man, health 1

Of one who knows, and best
Supplies the beings he has made
With what will make them blest.

Travelling across that holy ground,
With God and angels near.

1 MARY to the Saviour's tomb
Hasted at the early dawn ;
Spice she brought and rich perfume,
But the Lord she loved had gone.
For a while she lingering stood,
Filled with sorrow and surprise,
Trembling, while a crystal flood
Issued from her weeping eyes.
2 But her sorrows quickly fled,
When she heard his welcome voice ;
Christ had risen from the dead —
Now he bids h*»r heart rejoice.
What a change his word can make,
Turning darkness into day 1
Ye who weep for Jesus' sake,
He will wipe your tears away.
3 He who came to comfort her,
When she thought her all was lost,
Will for your relief appear,
Though you now are tempest tossed.
On his arm your burden cast ;
On his love your thoughts employ ;
Weeping for a while may last,
But the morning brings the joy.

Else would my hope for ever die,
And every cheering ray depart.

Do I not find his healing voice
The tempest of my fears control,
And bid my drooping pow'rs rejoice?
3 Whene'er to call the Saviour mine,
With ardent wish my heart aspires ;
Can it be less than pow'r divine,
Which animates these strong desires?
4 What less than thine almighty word
Can raise my heart from earth and dust,
And bid me cleave to thee, my Lord,
My life, my treasure, and my trust?
5 And when my cheerful hope can say,
I love my God, and trust hi3 grace,

Which brings this dawn of sacred peace ?

0 God of love, his constant home,
And light and heavenly peace impart,
Sweet earnest of the joys to come.

1 BLEST Lord, when darkness veils the skies,
Prevent the slumber of my eyes,
Till, bowed before the King of kings,
I ask mvself the following things :
2 Where have I been— what have I done ?
To what new follies have I run ?
Have I observed each rising though*,
And done the things which God hath taught ?
3 Do secret thoughts and actions prove
My love to God who reigns above ?
Do my affections rise on high,
As days and nights successive fly ?
4 Do I rejoice in that wise plan
Which governs all the affairs of man ?
Gives life, and health, and joy, and rest,
Or sends affliction when 'tis best?
5 And when God's holy law I hear,
Does it alarm my heart with fear ?
Or does it sweetly rule within,
And make me hate and fly from sin ?

1 'TIS faith that purifies the heart;
'Tis faith that works by love ;

By its celestial power ;
With holy triumph fill the soul,
In death's approaching hour.

The darkest path we'll tread ;
By faith we'll quit these mortal shores,
And mingle with the dead.

No more death, nor woe, nor night ;
Faith views it with delight,
Knowing 'tis sure.

There music's rapturous strain
Ever will ring ;
Saints who in ages by
Suffered, and were called to die,
There in sweet harmony
Anthems will sing.
8 There is our paradise —
Eden restored !
All beauteous in their eyes,
Who love the Lord ;
Wastes that are now so drear,
Like the rose shall blossom there,
And be a garden fair :
Thus saith the word

Where saints will dwell ;

1 MESSIAH comes with all his train,
He comes upon the earth to reign
With all his angels bright;
The saints now from the dust arise,
And go to meet him in the skies,
With shouts of sweet delight.
2 The trumpet sounds from shore to Bhore,
Louder and louder than before!
It makes the sinner fear ;
The judgment day has come at last,
The gospel harvest now is past,
Its summer disappears.
3 The earth is reeling to and fro.
The sinner's heart is filled with woe, —
His day of grace is past ;
The tribes of earth with terror mourn,
The hope of life from them is torn,
They must be lost at last.
4 They cry for mercy, but in vain,
For they must now endure the pain
Of a devouring hell ;
They go into the lake of fire,
And in the raging flames expire.
For who in flames can dwell ?

1 0 TELL me where the dove is flown
To build her downy nest,
And I will search the world around,
To win her to my breast.
2 I sought her in the rosy bower
Where pleasure holds her reign ;
Where fancy flies from flower to flower,
But there I sought in vain.
3 I sought her in the bower of love,
I knew her tender heart ;
But she had flown— that peaceful dove
Had felt the traitor's dart.
4 Upon ambition's craggy hill
I thought this bird might stray,
And there I sought, but vaiuly still ;
She never flew that way.
6 Faith smiled and shed the tender tear,
To see me search around.
And whispered, " I can tell thee where
The dove may yet be found.
6 In meek religion's humble cot,
She built her downy nest ;
Go, seek that sweet secluded spot,
And win her to thy breast."

1 TIIE morning dawns upon the place
Where Jesus spent the night in prayer ;
Through yielding glooms behold his face ;

2 Last eve, by those he called his own
Betrayed, forsaken or denied,
He met his enemas alone,
In all their malice, rage, and pride.

3 No guile within his mouth Is found ;
He neither threatens nor compUios ;
Meek as a lamb for slaughter bound,
Dumb midst his murd'rcrs he remains.
4 But hark ! he prays,— 'tis for his foes ;
He speaks, — 'tis comfort to his friends ;
Answers, — aud Paradise bestows;
He bows his head, — the conflict ends.

Though in a servant's mean disguise,
And bruised beneath the Father's rod ;
Not for himself. — for man he dies.

1 THY promises surpass my thought.
But faithful is my Lord ;
In unbelief I stagger not.
For Gud hath sp"ke the word.
2 Faith lends her realizing light,
And clouds and shadows fly ;
Th' invisible appears in sight.
Distinct to morral eye.
3 Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees,
And looks to that alone ;
Laughs at impossibilities,
Aud says, " It shall be done."

1 VyHAT works of wisdom, power, and lore,
Do Jesus' high commission prove ;
Attest his heaven-Uerired claim,
And glorify his Father's name I
2 On eyes that never saw the day,
He pours the bright celestial ray ;
And deafened ears, by him unbound,
Catch all the harmony of sound.
3 Lameness takes up its bed, and goes
Rejoicing in the strength that flows
Through every nerve ; and, free from pain,
Pours forth to God the grateful strain.
4 The shattered mind his word restores,
And tunes afresh the mental powers ;
The dead revive, to life return,
And bid affection cease to mourn.
6 Canst thou, my soul \t the^e wonders trace,
And not admire Jehovah's grace?
Canst thou behold thy Prophet's power,
And not the God he served adore 1
(Desire, p. 34.) 790 L. M.
1 IN rain men talk of livin? faith,
When all their works exhibit death ;
When they indulge some sinful view
In all they say, and all they do.
2 The true believer fears the Lord,
Obeys his precep's, keeps his word,
Commits his works to God alone,
And seeks God's will betore his own.
3 Never did men by faith divine
To selfishness or sloth incline ;
The Christian works with all his power,
And grieves that he can work no more.

1 0 LORD, another day St £***,
And we, a lonely b;ind,
Are met once more before thy throne
To bless thy fost'iing baud.
2 And wilt thou bend a list'ning ear
To praises low as ours?
Thou wilt, for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.
3 And, Jesus, thou thy smiles wilt deign
As we before thee pray ;
For thou d'dst bless the infant train —
And are we less than they ?
